TOBA COMPETES IN THE COLLEGE CUP

For the first time in 20 years, TOBA entered a team in the College Cup on Sunday 1 May. Old Boys involved were Des Riley (‘73), Liam Pabbruwe (‘19), Oliver Pabbruwe (‘19), Patrick Scally (‘21), Tom Devine (‘21) and Phil Edmiston (’73). Despite the poor sailing conditions on the day, everyone had a great time and the TOBA team won the rum barrel for best presented team. A huge thank you goes to Oliver Pabbruwe (’19) for getting involved and organising the crew. If you’re interested in being involved in next year’s event, please email toba@trinity.wa.edu.au

To be invited to join the esteemed Golden Heritage Club, there is pretty much only a couple of criteria – you need to be an Old Boy and one who left CBC Perth or Trinity College fifty years ago (or more). This group of gentlemen was formed in 2011 to establish a forum where mates could gather and connect with their old school and this year, the Class of 1972 was invited to join the club.

Members celebrated Mass with Year 12 students and then shared morning tea in Gibney Hall where they exchanged stories with a small group of Year 12 students. Special thanks to College Chaplain, Fra Oscar Aguilera; Director of Campus Ministry, Mrs Rosa West; organist Angela Currie; Head of Year 12, Ms Amanda Marocchi; Year 12 students; our wonderful Golden Heritage Club members and all involved in the morning. Below are some comments from Year 12 students: I really enjoyed being able to talk to Old Boys of the College at the Golden Heritage morning tea. It was fascinating to listen to them reminisce and tell stories of what schooling was like in the ‘60s. Also interesting was hearing how Trinity has changed over time by, as mentioned a previous Headmaster. After listening to the wise advice they shared, I realised that their participation in this school event, more than 50 years after they’ve left, is a testament to the connection they have to the school – a connection I hope to carry through my life as well. Dion Primerano (12.3) I thoroughly enjoyed my time talking to the Old Boys of the Golden Heritage Club, exchanging experiences we’ve had at the College, chatting about how school life was back then and finding familiar names on the honour boards – all over an enjoyable morning tea. Also, so many of them made life-long friendships even 50-plus years after graduating, which really shows that the TC Spirit never dies. Jett Dedman (12.5) The morning tea was a great way to begin term. After talking to some of the Golden Heritage Club members it was surprising how many of the core values of Trinity College have remained constant throughout the many decades, since the founding of the school. It also made me recognise the power of the friendships and experiences that Trinity helps foster after seeing some of the friendships that have truly stood the test of time. Archie Allen (12.5)

Perfect weather and conditions set the scene for a substantial field of 26 teams of four who took to the impeccable course at The Western Australian Golf Club.

Players spanned from the Class of 1961 through to the Class of 2020 – nearly 60 years! In honour of Justin Little (’92), the Justin Little Memorial Trophy was award for Nearest the Pin on Hole 9. Justin was a proud Old Boy, keen sportsman and actively involved in TOBA events. Justin was taken from us too early after battling brain cancer but showed true fighting spirit and good humour right to the end. We were delighted to have Justin’s brother and TOBA supporter, Ashley Little (‘97), present the trophy. Special mention goes to Bryan Kukura (’54) who is a long-standing player, but due to a minor ailment couldn’t play on the day. In the true TC Spirit, Bryan turned up to support the event enjoying the view from the Club House. Thank you to all our players for supporting the event and making it such an enjoyable day!

Tickets are always snapped up quickly for the TOBA Sportsmen’s Lunch, but this year, a record was set, with the event selling out in two days, as well as the largest number of attendees ever – 280!

Old Boys, the TC community and other guests, caught up for a quick catch up in the foyer of the Duxton Hotel (the old CBC Perth school site). It was heart-warming to see so many fathers and their sons together at this event. Once seated in the ballroom the formalities commenced with a heartfelt Acknowledgment to Country by Lachie Sibosado (’19) followed by Grace, from Deputy Principal, Anthony Byrne. TOBA President, Dion Smith (’87) welcomed attendees and special guests and thanked those that had contributed to this iconic gathering before leading attendees to raise a glass to toast absent friends. Dion then gave an overview on all things ‘TOBA’ and presented the Come with Strength and Vigour trophy for the highest attendance by a year group at a TOBA event … the Class of 2021! MC extraordinaire, Mark Reading (’87), then introduced Trinity College Advisory Council member, Peter Torre (’89), who spoke about the success of the 2021 rugby season and, the icing on the cake, winning the Br Redmond Cup. Head Rugby Coach, Alex Stajka and 1st XV Coach, Tim Carslaw, took to the stage for a brief Q&A with Mark Readings. Formalities then began for the longawaited TOBA Sporting Hall of Fame. Committee Chair, Des Hardiman (’74), gave a background on the Hall of Fame Committee and the selection process before ‘Reado’ announced the very deserving inaugural winners of the TOBA Sporting Hall of Fame

Celebrating the Holy Trinity with a Trinity Sunday Mass is a very proud tradition of TOBA and the Trinity College community.

Trinity Sunday is the first Sunday after Pentecost and honours the Holy Trinity—the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The blustery weather didn’t deter Old Boys, staff, students, family and friends attending what was a beautiful celebratory Trinity Sunday Mass in the College Chapel. It was heartwarming to see this incredible community sharing morning tea and a chat in the Staff Lounge after the Mass. We thank Fra Oscar Aguilera for celebrating Mass, Ms Jayne Stanley for taking photos, Joshua Sumich (’20) for playing the piano and Dr Robert Braham for organising the choir. Thank you also to students, Old Boys and loved ones involved in the Mass and those who prepared a shared morning tea.

TRINITY MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER CELEBRATES HER 100TH BIRTHDAY

Mrs Clara Embley with her son, Maurice, and her daughter-in-law, Anne

Clara Embley turned 100 on 20 March 2022 and celebrated this momentous milestone with her friends and family.

The lives of her son, Maurice (’74) and, consequently, her grandsons, Andrew (’98), Michael (’03) and James (’06) were changed, when she chose to invest in a Trinity College education for her son –something for which her family is very grateful. Clara Embley is pictured below with proud son, Maurice and his wife Anne. Sadly, Mrs Embley passed away on 13 May and our heartfelt condolences are with the Embley family.
